Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (STAYS IN VEGAS) (7-2) - Consistent filly has gone 8-3-0-4 on the grass and has won two of three (both stakes) on this course. She missed by a 'head' facing older runners Dec 4 at Del Mar in a G1 stakes and is working fast for this assignment. Back in with fellow 3yos, daughter of 'City Zip' gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Sassy Little Lila) (9-2) - Very lightly raced filly has made tremendous strides in her short career. NYRA based until today, she ships from Aqueduct where she missed by a /2 length there in her stakes debut Nov 25. Speedy filly should be involved every step.

3rd pick: #7 (Decked Out) (4-1) - No speed type almost always make a late charge and is back in with fellow 3yos after an even effort facing older Oct 1 at Del Mar in a G1 stakes. Sharp in six of seven stakes facing her age group prior to hat and a win candidate in this spot.

4th pick: #1 (LadyValeur) (12-1) - Iris import is consistent and speed/stalker has the rail. Fits with her best and think she can factor at long odds.
